IT Cohort 2014

Wiki that has videos made by students concerning different math topics.

Abby - I really liked the fact that these videos were made by students. I feel sometimes that interests my students more when they see that other students have made it. I agree that this would be a very effective tool. I watched the video on the different shapes and thought it would have been nice to have shown my students that last month when we were working on geometry. I think the resource could be used by both teachers and students. Teachers could get ideas how to explain things or they could just have the students watch the videos. I usually use TeacherTube when looking for math videos.

Good find Abby! I will definitely be able to use this in the classroom. This could help create a blended learning environment by providing students with videos created by other students, instead of the same voice and style from Khan Academy or myself. Do agree or disagree that the resource can be used efficiently in your own future sources that should be considered? If so, what are those resources. Teachers could use this to provide extra learning opportunities in the classroom as well. I have used YouTube to look for videos occasionally, as well as Khan Academy, but nothing made by students is typically found. Thanks again for this!

If I were a teacher, I could definitely see using these in my classroom. Math can be so difficult for visual learners (like me!) so this makes the concepts a lot more accessible. Aside from YouTube and TeacherTube, I'm not aware of a similar dedicated resource to this.
